Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	45	Very selective/disciplined with solid zone judgment, which should allow him to continue to walk at all levels. Really high hand set that comes down with long stride. Bat head really dipping at the moment, causing him to foul off tons of hittable pitches. That, plus his high selectivity, cause him to strikeout a lot. Struggled to consistently square up the ball in batting practice.
Power	55	Plus to the pull side, but didn't show the ability to go to all fields. Everything (timing, wheelhouse, good swing) needs to come together for it to show.
Baserunning/Speed	45	Was average coming out of high school, and has most certainly dipped below average. Struggled to accelerate out of the box.
Glove	45	Working really hard to improve here. The fundamentals are good, but it seemed to be more of a facade than ability. Made several fielding errors, as hands struggled to react to mid hops. Slow to react on slow rollers.
Arm	60	Throws have great carry across the diamond, more than enough for a corner spot somewhere.

There is more corner outfield risk here than I previously thought. Being a below-average runner is fine for third, but the hands really need to improve.
